Shakmat - Knight's Gallop (discontinued)
sold out at the moment
AlgoRhythmic Generator. Two outputs and five different rhythmic flavors multiply by a load of “algo-rhythmic” processing to result in a practically infinite number of polyrhythms. That’s the fundamental formula that produces the Knight's Gallop principle : a dual trigger generator providing sequences according to tables and modes.The source tables contain patterns such as the Euclidean polyrhythms, and the modes allow the user manipulate and mangle those patterns according to different algorithms. As the module has two outputs, it is a very powerful instrument to create diversified and instantaneous polyrhythms.Features:• Dual Output Trigger Generator• Variable length sequences (up to 16 steps)• Length and Pulse amount potentiometers and CV inputs• Shift + & shift - buttons allowing to shift the sequence forward and backward• Main mode (MN) providing a lot of utlity modes for the second output : reset, no shift, invert and reverse• Compute mode (CP) calculating associated sequences for the second output delivering very musical polyrythm• Random mode (RD) adding randomness on the second output sequence, 4 amounts of randomness determined by the sub mode• Dual mode (DL) allowing to set the two outputs seperatly• Record mode (RC) turning the Knight's Gallop into a “play your sequence on the buttons to record it” module• Five different kind of tables for five different rythmic flavours : Divider Sequences, Classic Euclidean, Revised Euclidean, Anti Euclidean & Split Sequences• User replaceable firmware chipDIY-Kit-Type:SMD-Kit-1.

Shakmat - Mod Medusa
available
In a simplistic way, The Mod Medusa could be described as an Euclidean LFO: an “algorithmic” modulation source which produces variable period LFO signals synced to rhythmic patterns. Those patterns are generated by algorithms such as the Euclidean one or different ones coming from the White and Knight's Gallop. The Mod Medusa has 4 outputs generating 4 correlated LFOs, which give different “polyrhythms” according to the chosen mode. Generated waveforms can easily be twisted using the symmetry and shape parameters which continuously morph the signal into different waveshapes. Many on-panel controls, assignable Gate and VCA Inputs turn the Mod Medusa into a strong performance tool. A very unique approach which leads to instantaneous and original results.Features:• Unique concept of sequenced LFO• Four outputs which can be correlated or independent• Four correlation modes: Main, Compute, Random or Phase• Eight tables generated by algorithms producing different rhythmic patterns• Length (from 1 to 16 steps), density and shift controls over the sequence• Shape and symmetry controls over the generated waveforms• Unipolar or Bipolar outputs• Peak Sync function allowing to synchronize the LFO differently to the incoming clock• Assignable gate input which can work as ratchet, track and hold or one shot mode.• Assignable VCA input which can be assigned to any output.• On board clock divider• Bipolar CV inputs (except for the VCA input)• Current state storingDIY-Kit-Type:SMD-Kit-1.

Shakmat - Tessitura Tailor (discontinued)
sold out at the moment
* * * Tessitura Tailor is gonna be discontinued when sold out.

Casting spells on every boring clock signals, The Time Wizard got a bag full of arcane time-warping tricks. All his magical feats are based on 6 dividers with selectable division factors and 4 switches providing 81 routing variations.This module's occult powers have been harnessed to easily clock and reset other sequencers with odd time signatures, provide weird clock division/multiplication ratios, and create complex poly-rhythmsFeatures:• Sextuple clock divider divided in two sections A and B• Dedicated potentiometer acting on the division factor for each divider• Clock multiplying and weird div / mult ratio abilities for the first section, first section incoming clock can be multiplied by 3 or 4, allowing to get easily triplets from a 16th clock or mult / div association as x4 / 7• Independant clocking or divider association abilities for the second section, so B5 and B6 can get their clock in internaly from B4.
